Burger Tuning JB4 for Kia Stinger!

[KLR STINGER]

Sweet. I'll get some tomorrow.

I should be installing mine tomorrow...

Thanks!

Woot!

Managed to get a log of a launch control WOT - can u please have a quick look to see if all looks ok?

Yes looks normal to me!

Question for how we handle fuel settings in v7. With the new logic I don't expect user fuel bias changes will be overly useful and having different suggested settings for different firmware versions is an area of confusion I want to remove. So I'm thinking of hard coding them in the firmware rather than using the fuel bias user adjustment column.

Only drawback here is for those without fuel control wires, by default, logging AFR won't be accurate. Instead we will have a FUD option for disabling fuel control and those without fuel control wire will have to check that option to have accurate AFR logging. There will be no tuning implication so running without fuel wires and the option not selected won't effect performance.

For those who prefer more granular AFR adjustment we will leave that active if selecting another FUD bit to enable it.

Overall I think it's a good move which will make things easier for most of our customers who don't want to bother with fuel settings. Thoughts?

I like the idea, the simpler the better....Everyone should just buy fuel wires there only like 30 bucks lol....The less simple meaning dont have to put inputs i think the better

 

[Adamdan]

I like the idea of having it locked. Less room for mistakes. But it’s still nice to have the option to tweak something if you had to.

Great! Thanks

Yep I think easier the better when it comes to plug and play devices

As long you can tweak mine if they are off, lol. The fuel wires are sitting in a box... might get em installed this week.

JB4_KIA_7_BETA2

1) Added double-PID fuel control algorithm which provides a nice improvement in dynamic AFR control over the previous single offset algorithm. In JB4 logs fuel enrichment reflects the bias for bank1 while "calc tq" reflects the bias for bank2.
2) Made an test adjustment to the passive delete function which some have reported causes a "pause" during startup.
3) Adjusted JB4 interface such that fuel bias values no longer need to be entered for fuel control to be active. They can all be set to 0, or left at previous settings, because they will be ignored unless you enable "manual" AFR tuning under FutureUseD bit1. NOTE if not using fuel control wires no changes are needed but logging of AFR will not be accurate unless setting FutureUseD bit 0 on.

 

[mitchyboy]

After installing firmware 7, all of my "FutureUseD" bits are marked as white (can be switched as either white or red). I have the fuel wires, so is this correct? I have also changed the fuel bias values to 0.

 

[Terry@BMS]

Sounds right, all to the left is "off".

@Terry@BMS Would you be able to provide any kind of info or feedback concerning the Kia Shift Logic bulletin, as far as if you know how it will react with the JB4 running? Trying to decided if I should get it or not during my appointment this coming Friday and haven't been able to find any concrete info on if it's a good or bad thing.

It shouldnt have any effect on the jb4. Just make sure its off when you go in lol.

I was hesitant when they did mine, but i have to say the car drives much better with the update. It used to hard shift alot while it warmed up. Now, its as smooth as butter through all gears even while not up to temp.

What Kia has an software update ?? Is this for all stinger ... I don’t go to the dealer I do my owm service ..

 

[Metalmania82]

I think it's for all Stinger models but not sure. You can check under your owner's account on the Kia website.

Thank you!

I wasn't sure if it would end up being making the car less fun or put more restriction on it, then making the JB4 less fun than it is now.

How long did it take you?

Not sure, They did it when they replaced my rotors.
